Summary:
Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers LLC "Pleasant Valley" is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt. |
||
|
Consequence:
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury. |
||
|
Remedy:
Pleasant Valley will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Pleasant Valley at 1-330-852-4811 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. |
